Ingredients
– 3/4 cup salted butter (thatβs 1 Β½ sticks), sliced, plus extra for greasing the baking dish
– 2 cans apple pie filling (each 21 ounces)
– 1 teaspoon apple pie spice (a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice; you can swap in pumpkin pie spice if needed)
– 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 ounces)
– Jarred caramel sauce, amount as desired (optional, great for serving)
– Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, amount as desired (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1-Getting started: Getting started with this dump cake couldnβt be easier itβs all about layering ingredients just right for a golden, bubbly result. First, preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with some of that salted butter to keep everything from sticking. This step sets the stage for a cake that slides out perfectly every time.
2-Next: spread the 2 cans of apple pie filling evenly across the bottom of the dish for a juicy base full of apple goodness. Sprinkle on the 1 teaspoon of apple pie spice to add that warm, cozy flavor throughout. Then, evenly pour the 1 box of yellow cake mix over the top without mixing it in, creating that signature crunchy layer.
3-Now: slice up the 3/4 cup of salted butter and dot it all over the cake mix so it melts into a delicious crust as it bakes. Pop it into the oven and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top turns a beautiful golden brown and the filling bubbles up around the edges. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, and feel free to add caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream on top for extra fun.
